Noticed a potential bug today regarding Protection and Blind with Chaos Armor, I have made a thread in the Bug report forum and wouldent mind some other Mesmers checking it out if they have time to get their opinion as I may just be misunderstanding the spells tool tip.

Already commented on your youtube video. Made a suggestion that maaaaybe protection/blindess only have say a 5% chance of proccing while the others equate to 95%. As to why you start with protection then don’t see it again, that could be the tooltip issue.

RIP in peace Robert

That’s a fair point actually, I always presumed it was 1/3 for all boons and all conditions. I will test it further and report back.

Np, one would think it would be even since they don’t say anything. But that wouldn’t explain why you start with prot/blindness and it doesn’t proc again.

But be careful using the staff since that will cause it’s own conditions/boons on it’s bounces.

Yea they are different boons and conditions though going to do a bit more testing on it now.

Had a chance to test it out a little more tonight, Protection just isnt procing at all for me.

Blind seems a bit strange, it maybe working. I tested with and without the trait Blinding Befuddlement and confusion stacks seemed higher with the trait than without but I cant be sure due to the fact the fights are random in the mists.

Why don’t you use the Chilling Darkness trait? It chills on blind so should quite easy to see.

Haha I wish we had that trait though, would make it so much easier to test!

I’ve noticed this too, actually. I don’t think I get protection at all unless I pop Staff 4.

If they do patch it, I REALLY hope they don’t take out the instant protection our manual Chaos Armor gives.

The first iteration of Chaos Armour provided Regeneration or Protection when you’re hit, with no default Protection. People whined that this is crap, so they changed it to provide Protection on cast and Regeneration or Swiftness on hit. The flip side of this is of course the combo version became weaker, but you know how humans are: they can’t see something unless it’s right in their faces, so only a few people complained while everyone else celebrated.

Is this just about the staff version of chaos armor? I run dual swords and I was pretty excited about building around having chaos armor up as often as I could with leap finishers in null field/time warp. I then read the wiki and realized that the combo field version of chaos armor doesn’t even grant protection?!? Am I reading that right? Is it just the staff version that grants protection? That’s seriously lame and not worth bothering with if all you get are swiftness and regen procs from being hit.

Yes, only the Staff version grants Protection. As I said in the previous post, it used to be that Chaos Armour, Staff or combo, granted Protection or Regeneration on hit; but people complained so they made Protection applied on casting the Staff version.

Remember however that Chaos Armour also inflicts conditions on hit, which can be quite helpful.

Don’t forget though, that with 15 points into Chaos, you get 3 sec of protection when regen procs on a 15 second cooldown. That is a fair amount of protection you will still be getting from the leap through field Chaos Armor.

I would be more enthusiastic about it before it was nerfed, when it had no cooldown. As it is it’s not that impressive: IMO the CD should be reduced to 10s.

I dont suppose you have a link to official patch notes or anything regarding this ? I had a quick google search but couldent see anything and wouldent mind reading back into it. I noticed on the Wiki it says combo finisher Chaos Armour is the old version but that one doesnt proc protection either.

Also does anyone have anymore information regarding the Blind not proccing ?

It may have been as early as Beta, I don’t remember. The Wiki often has wrong information, and apparently some of the editors of the Wiki are pretty resistant to people trying to fix wrong information.
